My intraocular lens has moved out of position. How can it be treated?
When an IOL moves out of its normal position, vision may become blurry or objects may appear doubled. Treatment may involve repositioning or exchanging the lens. If there is insufficient tissue to support it, scleral fixation may be considered. The appropriate technique depends on the condition of the IOL and the structures inside the eye.

21	I have been told I may have retinal detachment. Where should I go? If retinal detachment is suspected or has been diagnosed, it is important to be examined promptly by an eye specialist who can assess the retina thoroughly. When choosing a clinic, check whether retin...
20	Does retinal detachment need to be operated on urgently? Retinal detachment is an eye emergency, and the timing of surgery can have a major impact on vision after treatment. Prompt surgery is particularly important before the macula, the part of the retina ...
19	What is the difference between air and gas used during retinal detachment surgery? During retinal detachment surgery, air or a medical gas may be placed inside the eye to help keep the retina in position while it heals. Air is absorbed faster than longer-acting gases, which can allo...
18	Will I have to lie face down after retinal detachment surgery? Not always. Your postoperative positioning depends on the location of the retinal breaks, whether air, gas, or silicone oil was used, and the surgical technique. Some patients need to keep their head ...
17	Can retinal detachment happen again after surgery? Yes. Retinal detachment can recur because of a new retinal break, remaining traction, or proliferative vitreoretinopathy, among other causes. Keep your scheduled retinal follow-up appointments, and se...

12	When does an intraocular lens need to be exchanged? IOL exchange may be considered if a lens becomes dislocated, if its power is significantly different from what the eye needs, or if substantial lens-related symptoms persist despite treatment of other...
11	What is scleral fixation of an intraocular lens? Scleral fixation is a procedure used when an IOL cannot be supported reliably in its normal position. The lens haptics are secured to the sclera, the white outer wall of the eye. The Yamane technique ...
10	If I have a retinal problem, does that mean I need surgery? Not always. Conditions such as epiretinal membrane, macular hole, retinal detachment, and vitreous hemorrhage require different approaches depending on their type and severity. Some can be monitored o...
